Finally spring has arrived, and I hope it's here to stay! Time to put away that thick wooly scarf to reveal one of my favourite accessories -the square silk neckscarf! I used to paint on silk myself and I just love the smaller square stlyes for that.It'sa colourful, quick and easy style update to top up those trendy monochromeoutfits with some colour àla Céline. The classic geometric ones are my favourites. And yours?

What kind of sunglasses are you going for this year? Vogue says,pilot goggles are going to be trendy, but I'm not sure about that one, bit freaky perhaps? Or are you going to carry on wearing last years cat eye shape? I always like the classic Ray Ban Wayfarer, but no need to buy any of these, cause Mr. has them in all colours and he goes hunting for them on ebay, that is the vintage black ones because they don't have Ray Ban written on the front!!! Erm, should I be worried? Anyway, this year I'd like to have some byKaren Walker preferably in tortoise shell, this woman does some mean styles!

This is for all you crazy dicker boots fans out there! By now they must have been worn through anyway, no? No? Ok, but if you're fed up with them here's an alternative by Acne, one of our favourite Scandi labels. And a budget version by ASOS. I think they are quite Rock n Roll.

"Laurence Doligé proposes collections where she mixes men’s wear, glamour, and Parisian femininity without hesitation. Her collections offer a complete look from head to toe: tops, pants, jackets, shoes, handbags, scarves and brooches... Not only does she propose a clothing line, but a complete style, a look that is both elegant, casual, sexy and rock ’n roll!"

It's easy to wear, chic with a twist and I'd like all the sandals and the leopard dress for vacation please!!!

"My
idea of elegance - and this refers to women as well as men - is that
someone is elegant when he or she shows a good knowledge of what fits
them,"..."Where you can find naturalness and self-esteem.""Not
showing off, "When you’re not thinking, "This is fashion," and you’re
not buying clothes to create statements, you’re on the right path."

Stefano Pilati, Ives Saint Laurent's former creative director once said this in
an interview with Vice Magazine. And yes, Icouldn't agree more!

In a recent article with TMagazine, Suzy Menkes points out the ridiculousness of that "mob" of
self aware people who deliberately get dressed to get noticed.Of
course you will be noticed in a long neon green coat at fashion week on a
dull February day, then the picture will appear on dozens of blogs and the rave comments
underneath will be flooding in, and some kids will think this is the way
to dress and try and emulate this sometimes unfortunate style on their
personal style blogs. With the result that they look equally
unfavourable or even worse. Thank God, in the real world this is not the
case, but I think I can spot a blogger by the mile due to this specific
style. So, where has the good taste gone to then? Well, I know it's
definitely still there (in some blogs thankfully as well) but it just
doesn't get photographed that much during fashion week, or may go unnoticed
between the neon buoys shouting "look at me", andsome of the well dressed crowd just
might not want their picture taken.
